Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Spirits Do Return" by Ida Belle White is a novel written in the early 20th century. This work appears to explore themes of innocence, justice, and the supernatural, centering around a man wrongfully accused of murder. As he navigates prison life, he becomes increasingly convinced that the spirit of the victim will return to reveal the truth, creating an intriguing intersection between the spiritual world and human despair. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a convict who is drawn into a terrifying situation after hearing a woman’s screams in a nearby home. Despite wanting to help, he becomes embroiled in the aftermath of a murder committed by another, resulting in his wrongful imprisonment. The opening details his emotional turmoil and determination to prove his innocence, as he begins to pray for divine assistance, convinced that the true murderer will soon reveal themselves through supernatural means. The narrative sets a strong lead into the mix of both human struggles and ghostly encounters that will unfold throughout the story.
